About Silver

Silver Reef Mining DistrictJohn Kemple arrived in Harrisburg in 1866, and boarded at the Orson Adams House for the winter. Kemple was an experienced prospector, and in 1868 he found a mineralized sandstone float (an ore unattached to the bedrock) that assayed very high in silver, but he had a hard time pinpointing its source. All ramps are free to use. Ramp surfaces include 6 paved concrete ramps suitable for larger motorized vessels, 1 gravel ramp, 4 carry-in launches for kayaks and canoes. 11 have designated parking (11 with trailer parking). Ramps are managed by City of Maplewood, City of Rochester, DNR Division of Parks and Trails, and others.
